On-Topic: Anything that good slackers would find interesting. That includes more than /g/ memes and slacking off. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual laziness.
Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably lame.
Help keep this hole healthy by keeping drama and non-drama balanced. If you see too much drama, post something that isn't dramatic. If there isn't enough drama and this hole has become too boring, POST DRAMA!
Please do things to make titles stand out, like using uppercase or exclamation points, or saying how great an article is. It should be explicit in submitting something that you think it's important.
Please don't submit the original source. If the article is behind a paywall, just post the text. If a video is behind a paywall, post a magnet link. Fuck journos.
Please don't ruin the hole with chudposts. It isn't funny and doesn't belong here. THEY WILL BE MOVED TO /H/CHUDRAMA
If the title includes the name of the site, please leave that in, because our users are too stupid to know the difference between a url and a search query.
If you submit a video or pdf, please don't warn us by appending [video] or [pdf] to the title. That would be r-slurred. We're not using text-based browsers. We know what videos and pdfs are.
Make sure the title contains a gratuitous number or number + adjective. Good clickbait titles are like "Top 10 Ways to do X" or "Don't do these 4 things if you want X"
Otherwise editorialize. Please don't use the original title, unless it is gay or r-slurred, or you're shits all fucked up.
If you're going to post old news (at least 1 year old), please flair it so we can mock you for living under a rock, or don't and we'll mock you anyway.
Please don't post on SN to ask or tell us something. Send it to [email protected] instead.
If your post doesn't get enough traction, try to delete and repost it.
Please don't use SN primarily for promotion. It's ok to post your own stuff occasionally, but the primary use of the site should be for curiosity. If you want to astroturf or advertise, post on news.ycombinator.com instead.
Please solicit upvotes, comments, and submissions. Users are stupid and need to reminded to vote and interact. Thanks for the gold, kind stranger, upvotes to the left.
Be snarky. Don't be kind. Have fun banter; don't be a dork. Please don't use big words like "fulminate". Please sneed at the rest of the community.
Comments should get more enlightened and centrist, not less, as a topic gets more divisive.
If disagreeing, please reply to the argument and call them names. "1 + 1 is 2, not 3" can be improved to "1 + 1 is 3, not 2, mathfaggot"
Please respond to the weakest plausible strawman of what someone says, not a stronger one that's harder to make fun of. Assume that they are bad faith actors.
Eschew jailbait. Paedophiles will be thrown in a wood chipper, as pertained by sitewide rules.
Please post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. All press is good press.
Please use Slacker News for political or ideological battle. It tramples weak ideologies.
Please comment on whether someone read an article. If you don't read the article, you are a cute twink.
Please pick the most provocative thing in an article or post to complain about in the thread. Don't nitpick stupid crap.
Please don't be an unfunny chud. Nobody cares about your opinion of X Unrelated Topic in Y Unrelated Thread. If you're the type of loser that belongs on /h/chudrama, we may exile you.
Sockpuppet accounts are encouraged, but please don't farm dramakarma.
Please use uppercase for emphasis.
Please post deranged conspiracy theories about astroturfing, shilling, bots, brigading, foreign agents and the like. It degrades discussion and is usually mistaken. If you're worried about abuse, email [email protected] and dang will add you to their spam list.
Please don't complain that a submission is inappropriate. If a story is spam or off-topic, report it and our moderators will probably do nothing about it. Feed egregious comments by replying instead of flagging them like a pussy. Remember: If you flag, you're a cute twink.
Please don't complain about tangential annoyances—things like article or website formats, name collisions, or back-button breakage. That's too boring, even for HN users.
Please seethe about how your posts don't get enough upvotes.
Please don't post comments saying that rdrama is turning into ruqqus. It's a nazi dogwhistle, as old as the hills.

Around 180,000 permanent residents from Germany were living in the United States in 2020.
American emigration to Europe totalled 3,6 million people in 2005, and 5 million in 2019
Right now I can't even find numbers for other European countries to the US, it's all just European descendant data.
I am sorry about your ignorance, but all the smart and ambitious Europeans are not going to America.

I personally know someone who immigrated here from Germany. I have never in my old boomer life ever heard of an American moving to Europe, so I'm a bit skeptical that we've been losing 1% of our population each year for 20 years.

I'm not sure where you got your numbers but they're extremely wrong. US gets more by about a factor of three.
https://www.pewresearch.org/global/interactives/global-migrant-stocks-map
E.g., in 2017 there were 650,000 people from Germany living in the US and 140,000 people from the US living in Germany. Germany is (comically) the best European country so that's probably the most pro-European number and the rest are worse (or tiny).
Discussion:

But absolute numbers aren't even the point. It's that US trash goes to Europe while European cream of the crop goes to the US.

Yeah but :
1. Germany is the largest population country in European Union.
2. The US-Europe migrant flows are far too low compared to general international flows and even Inter European flows.
My numbers and your numbers can be right at the same time. You have to account for most of the countries in Europe being very small, and the West European ones already having finished up with major outflows into the US in the previous centuries and having better options in places like Sweden or Norway.

The problem with your numbers is that the entirety of Europe only has something like one and a half times the population of the US. Comparing the US to only Germany is like comparing New York to Asia.

My source literally shows outflows from Western Europe to the US are much much larger than outflows from the US to Western Europe. To a first approximation, Europeans move to the US, not the other way around.

The part where Eastern Europe is turning into a ghost town even while old people keep getting richer?
Or the part where the people still do not realize that South Europe politicians support immigration even in the right wing once they get into power because they know the country would collapse without other people coming in to keep things running?
